It looks like just a regular piece of cloth but it&#8217;s stretchable and breathable, and it can be used in countless ways including as a beanie, scarf, neck warmer, sweatband, or eye mask (for when I&#8217;m trying to sleep on a bus or plane). It&#8217;s very packable and has proven its worth in so many situations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Travel writer, Odette <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tritoncopywriting.com\/\"><strong>tritoncopywriting.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> Twitter @<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dette_p\"><strong>dette_p<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/08\/dette_p.jpg\" alt=\"Essential travel item dette_p\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dette_p.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dette_p-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dette_p-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/dette_p-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\u201c<\/strong>My\u00a0#360fly\u00a0action camera.

I have a whole collection of them, but I usually pack something from Tilley. Their hats have a lifetime guarantee because they&#8217;re really well made.
